Consider updating. They™ fixed quite a lot.

10.3.1?

KISS rules!

Sad to see you leave. Please reconsider. That said - should you stay, try seeing things from Davids POV. He is trying to help but that is kind of hard when he has to pull every tidbit of information out of you. David could have just stopped replying, which would have left you slightly more annoyed, I bet.

Perhaps the pull is long done, and the GUI is just having trouble building the tree... they can't all be using power tools like us now, can they?

Well, let's unite then!

At first glance, it is not a replacement for Firemonkey, so this question is moot. I consider this to be comparable to TMS Component pack. And for that, they are pretty thrifty. If I see this correctly the version with sourcecode costs 30€/year.

What seems to be the problem? ...perhaps in a new thread though.

@Andrea Raimondi"These people" is a term with quite a negative connotation. But I agree with you.

Ah...beauty. That comes at the very end of the process. Usability should be main concern which will result in an overall positive UX. Beauty is just glitter and bows and ribbons. Good usability, however, is measurable. Alas this process of measuring is time and resource consuming. Not many managers are willing or even capable of spending money on this, reckoning that usability will improve itself over time. Sadly, more often than not the opposite happens.

Ay, there's the rub: Please! Pretty please! Find me a good designer! When they are not even present in most of the leading UI manufacturers, surely there must be some kind of global shortage. I am painfully aware of the fact, that an engineer will fail at creating a good UI as well. So the best thing is to have them both talk with each other through the entire development process...a costly thing. *sigh*

So, is this considered a bug? If so, have you reported it?

Wishful thinking I can totally relate to.

Oh, I love a good guessing game! Please @Alexander Sviridenkov solve this mystery!

That is not in the Delphi IDE, is it?

There is one simple and effective way to follow through on that, which is to just stop responding.

Aw, come on Lars, it's a matter of taste...

Regarding FixInsight, it would appear that after acquisition only marginal work has been invested. https://www.tmssoftware.com/site/fixinsight.asp?s=history However, this might mean the product is stable and needs no more improvements. I am quite happy with it, and the flexible ways to make it fit my requirements.

Amen to that! Every Tom, Dick or Harry writes something into the registry nowadays. It's just as cluttered as the good old win.ini was back in the day.

I always thought that happens as soon as you are in the thread (not necessarily reading it). But I guess you want to mark it read without entering it, correct?

How about turning those few lines into an abstract? Something short and juicy like "In this blog post I'll discuss the possibilities to get the real Windows version". That should be enough to either get the attention of the interested, or inform the uninterested of the contents so they can move on. BTT: Very useful, thank you!

Are you sure he is talking about the quality...or rather about the time invested? And please, words like delusional are not considered to be kind or respectful.

Thank you, that is all we're asking.

@AlekXL Please consider reading your posts while taking your opponents point of view. Then please consider them to be human beings. Then alter your text, defusing the disses, then take a deep breath, read it again, insert some final niceties and finally post it. Moderators have been lenient thus far, but patience is growing short.

I know that, but how many successful pull requests have you gotten into RTL/VCL/FMX so far?
